The Circuito Cultural Praca da Liberdade turns the historic palaces around the elegant square into a cluster of museums and cultural centres covering art, memory, science and Minas Gerais culture. While many spaces are free, some ticketed exhibitions and attractions run throughout the year. Exploring the circuit, set amid the gardens and grand architecture of the square, is one of the richest cultural experiences in Belo Horizonte and a highlight for visitors interested in art and history.
